In the world of literature, various authors often utilize an assortment of unique writing tools to develop a strong relationship between him/herself and the reader. This relationship between author and audience is the most important that an author must consider when writing his/her literature. Especially true in detective fiction, authors are frequently searching for matchless ways to keep their audience involved and searching for the next piece of evidence. This is particularly the case when dealing with the two stories My Brother Jack, by Garry Disher, and A Mystery of the Sand-Hill, by R. Austin Freeman. In many ways these two stories are very similar; the use of a side-kick, by way the detective investigates and puts evidence together, or how there is one central problem that everyone is commonly working towards are just to name a few. However, these two stories are not so comparable at all. And although the two stories differ in general ways, the main, less obvious, yet, more defining difference is the author's use of his audience in context.

If too personal, the addressees may get the wrong idea about a particular author. If too general, the story will make no sense and be too hard to follow along with. If too complicated, only the most attentive readers will even attempt to deal with the story. If too easy, the reader will not feel challenged, thus, killing the spirit of the classic mystery novel. Both authors, Disher and Freeman, are masters at keeping their stories just gripping enough to keep the reader wanting more. However, they both have different ways of doing so.

R. Austin Freeman, author of A Mystery of the Sand-Hills, goes with the simpler and more traditional approach to detective fiction. The Sand-Hills story describes the main detective in the second person  his sidekick, or friend, being the narrator. Freeman takes his audience through the story clue by clue as the detective uncovers them; much like the traditional detective...

...The Connectionbetween Man and Nature
The poem, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," tells of a poet's wanderings and his discovery of a field of daffodils by a lake. In the poem the speaker is able to escape reality through nature because it is his memory that is being written about. The reader can use the poem to escape reality through nature because of the imagery and figurative language Wordsworth uses. This poem also deals with the speakers state of mind as he wanders and discovers the field of daffodils and how the memory comforts him when he is "[i]n vacant or in pensive mood" (20). Also brought about by the imagery and figurative language is the connectionbetween the speaker's state of mind and the natural scene. In his poem, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," Wordsworth uses imagery and figurative language by metaphorically comparing the speaker to a natural object, a cloud, and continually personifying daffodils to show the connectionbetween man and nature.
In the first stanza the speaker is compared to a cloud as the poet writes that he "wandered lonely as a cloud" (1). As the speaker drifts through his thoughts the path is a lot like a cloud that floats above earth floating in an aimless, light, and free manner. The speaker has no real purpose in his actions. Both the cloud and the speaker are not bound by any obstacle but rather float about earth in lonely solitude. This...

...Connectionbetween poverty and obesity
According to Wall Street Journal, “More than 33% of adults who earn less than $15,000 per year were obese, compared with 24.6% of those who earn at least $50,000 per year.” (Izzo 2011) Processed foods such as cheeseburger or French fries tend to be cheaper than buying healthier ingredients and making home cooked food. When people have lower incomes, they do suffer from food insecurity, which is an importantconnectionbetween poverty and obesity. Two reasons can contribute to obesity: parents are working and are no longer at home with their children and therefore not able to cook balanced meals; and foods with high fat are cheaper than healthy foods.
It has been said that if a person is obese, they must have enough to eat, which this is simply not true. In the U.S. today, poverty is the leading cause of obesity. To be even more specific, parents are responsible because kids eat meals inside their vehicles while being shuttled from home to school to aftercare. “What children eat is a function of what they are fed. The people responsible for feeding children are parents. If we are going to see any changes, then it is parental behavior that will need to change.” (Kosterich 2011) Parents often feel guilty, but have difficulty finding the time to plan and prepare meals that everyone will eat. The reason for this, if there is limited food in the house, a low-income family may give...

...The ConnectionBetween Silence and Stigma
Are people encouraging the silence of their stigmatized characteristics? The stigmatized attributes in societies today are known in all cultures but people who have these attributes always prefer to not show it, but in order to get help or get rid of these attributes, they need to talk about it and discuss it. Tumblr is a social network that encourages and supports the freedom of speech and to share principles, beliefs, and opinions about any thing they want. It permits its members to post pictures, text, quotes, links, videos, and music even if it is stigmatized. Upon researching these blogs and observing their community, I found that Tumblr’s users act really freely and discuss the most critical issues without a fear of publishing their opinions, and there was a lot of meaningful messages. Over the past years Tumblr has become more and more popular and people find it very convenience to express their interest and feeling by posing blogs especially for those who are struggling from certain disorders and cannot talk about in their real life, but Tumblr post a new policy against and prevent self-harm blogs recently and the language of this policy was clear. The Tumblr policy against self-harm blogs stigmatizes users who have self-harmed because it limits them from revealing and over coming their disorders and sickness.
Tumblr new policy against pro-self-harm blogs content strongly aims to prevent...

...with and engage her class. This shows that she was trying to establish equality in the classroom and make enemies friends in order to help them see each other as people, not as problems or enemies. This is illustrated when she introduces the Line Game, a tool used to highlight the similarities between all of the students. They look into each others eyes and see the pain that has been caused by the rivalry. From then on they begin the journey of reconciliation further showing Ms Gruwell’s influence on them. When they “walk into the room (they) feel as though all the problems in life are not so important anymore, that (they) are home” further emphasizes that their pain and distress unites them and creates a meaningful relationship between even the greatest of enemies. It is the only place that they could “truly be themselves.” Richard LaGravenese wants the audience to understand and recognise that we, as humans, really aren’t that different from each other. To do this we need to stop isolating ourselves and alienating others. The process of choosing an us-oriented life, helps us to receive a better understanding of people, giving us the hope of a brighter future. LaGravenese makes the audience deeply want to feel the love and have relationships that these students from Room 203 felt. To feel the love that these students had for each other we need to make the effort to understand them, who they are and where they are...

...﻿What is the connectionbetween wealth and education?
Is it education gives us wealth, or wealth gives us an education?
Education is our knowledge on things that we have learnt and things that we understand. Whilst wealth isn’t just about how much money we have. It’s about being wealthy through our health and heart, also emotionally and physically wealthy. It is all that is desired to be truly happy with one and another.
So, what is theconnectionbetween wealth and education? There is no direct connection that is clearly visible and is easy to understand. But there is a relation between wealth and education that influence each other for the better. Education may give us knowledge so we are able to have a better future with good jobs, and pay. But without wealth how do we get the sources needed for our education. This is a rotating cycle of how wealth and education influence each other. This essay will discuss how wealth is a main factor for education in our modern society.
Wealth can mean so much more that how much money you have. ‘We are all wealthy in one way, a wealthy person is a happy person.’ for something to become wealthy it must have the characteristics of...

I have been studying four texts for this report, "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, "A Party Down at the Square" by Ralph Waldo Elison, "Mississipi Burning" by Alan Parker and "Green Mile" directed by the famous Frank Darabont. All these texts show connections and have similarities to help us to explore the idea of key individuals or group of people or the justice system shows racist attitude. They can do this verbally, physically or turning the blind eye. Verbally means using derogatory language towards Black American. Physical means using violence to make themselves feel superior. Justice system meaning that there is no fair legal trial. Turning the blind eye means bystander effect that is affected by this.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee is set in a fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama during 1930's. It charts the small town life of a young white girl, Scout, living in a deeply segregated society. Her father, Atticus, is a lawyer, is given a task of representing Tom Robinson. He is a young black man who is falsely accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell. Her father Bob Ewell, humiliated and vows revenge. He spits at Atticus' face tried to get into the judges house and stalks the judges' wife and tried hurting Jem and Scout during the Halloween pageant. During this time Atticus was called a "nigger lover" by Bob Ewell and the townspeople and he still kept his head high and did the best he can do to defend...

There are many doctors that would agree that there is a connectionbetween physical health and psychological health. When you are getting stressed out over your job because you may be overworked or there are financial problems within your family. All of this could cause you to have some form of physical reaction. We are going to look at how these two things if they are really connected with one another.
Physical Health and Psychology
Your physical health can be affected by all of the things that you are doing, by the way that we gather and process information, your career choices that you make, family, troubles as also the environment in which you live in. It is to be believed that illness and wellness both exist on a continuum. Like for an example if we know someone who may be feeling fine and their liver is getting damaged from all of the drinking that they have been doing for many years. We wouldn’t say that they are dying or sick. What we would probably stay that they are less healthy than they would be if they wasn’t doing the unhealthy thing. Medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky (1979, 1987) has suggested that we consider these concepts as ends of a continuum, noting that ‘‘We are all terminal cases. And we all are, so long as there is a breath of life in us, in some measure...

...Connectionsbetween Mathematics and Blackjack
Using the idea of probability to describe the outcomes of real life phenomena has been an invaluable tool for many different fields. The concern of the present discussion is blackjack. Though to some a seemingly trivial topic, the use of probabilistic strategies in blackjack and other gambling games has earned many players a fair amount of reward (Thompson, 2009). Indeed, some of the earliest applications of probability were motivated by gambling games (Jardine, 2000). In blackjack, the use of probability underlies the popular strategy of card counting, in which one keeps track of the current probabilities of the next deal (Thompson, 2009; Berlekamp, 2005). Hence, the present discussion will first briefly overview probability in relation to random events and then present its applications to blackjack.
In drawing connectionsbetween mathematics, more specific to our case, probability, and blackjack first requires the definition of how random events and probability relate to outcomes of random events. Probability can be defined as the way in which mathematics describes randomness. Something is considered to be random if the individual outcomes of that something are subject to uncertainty but in the long run a pattern emerges, such that many of the individual outcomes can be predicted. Hence, a random event is an individual event whose outcome is considered to be...
